DESCRIPTION
Intended for students who have completed the equivalent of five semesters of college-level French.
Explores the ongoing dialogues between French-language literary expressions and the conflicts at stake around the questions of might, power and identity. The authors studied in this class were all born in former French colonies, whether in North or Black Africa, South-East Asia or in the overseas departments and territories. Their relationship to their motherland, to France and their experience of exile and racism will be apprehended through an artistic and linguistic perspective: the students will hence appreciate Literature?s power to voice the unspeakable and write on the hidden side of History.
